Marathon Mommies...WE DID IT!

What a beautiful day!

What a fun time! One big running party!

What great friends! Thank you!

Pasta Party!

I forgot to take a picture of the mounds of awesome pasta we all brought tonight for our own 'pasta party'. I guess it's tradition to have a pasta pig out the night before you Marathon (or in our case 1/2 marathon).

What a fun carb load! I love you gals!

Here's to us crossing the finish line before 10 am! We can do it!

GO MARATHON MOMMIES!!!

Lincoln... a l m o s t walking!















What a happy boy!












It's all about the presents!

Tooth Fairy Moment #2

Oh, tooth fairy...don't go so soon.
Apparently, there was ANOTHER loose tooth next to Calle's tooth she just lost. We think she is saving up for a big toy she wants soon. What a sweetheart!

Tooth Fairy Moment

Our first child ("only 1 minute older", says Christian)...
her first tooth to come out...
can't believe she's so grown up!
OUR BIG SWEETHEART!

No Fear

Lincoln has adopted this "no fear" attitude when roaming around the house from...guess who? Larkin, of course!

Our Karate Kid

Christian absolutely loves Karate for Kids! This is a picture with his instructor, Mr. Dickinson - 5th Level Black Belt and State Champion for 2007. Yes, you read it right. 5th Level! Whoa!

Mischevious Smile or What!

With this smile...you know Lincoln is related to our super busy, into everything, destroys 98% of all she touches, toddler - Larkin!

What cuties! Gotta love 'em! Right?

Light remodeling?

Our 'light' remodeling, as in replacing several outdated light fixtures, kind of turned into not so light remodeling, meaning...more like moderate to heavy remodeling.
I hated the mantle on our fireplace, I've always hated it. The thing is gigantic! It takes up the whole wall! I have been talking about doing something about it forever.
So, I actually pried it off the wall last week... by myself. It took about an hour, two hammers, a screwdriver, another tool and some frustration. I am soooooooooo glad I did! Even though I did sacrifice one of Matt's tools (I don't even know what it really was used for) and some of the skin on two of my fingers. It was a "don't be mad" moment. Matt was very nice about, yes... (having more work to do) but he did mention that if he comes home with the 60" flat screen TV... "don't be mad".
